Fits Through 34" Doorway (On Side)

How Doorway Fit Works
Hot tubs are typically moved on their side during delivery. For a spa to fit through a doorway, the height and width of the unit must allow clearance when tipped. These models are selected based on real-world install experience.

Doorway fit refers to whether a hot tub can pass through a standard gate or access point when tipped on its side during delivery. The relevant measurements are the spa's height and width — when tipped, one becomes the clearance dimension. We select models for this filter based on real-world install experience, not just spec sheets.

Hot tubs are delivered on their side, so the height of the spa becomes the width it needs to pass through. A spa that is 34 inches tall will need at least a 34 inch clear opening when tipped. Always measure the narrowest point of your access path, including gate posts, fence panels, and any overhead obstructions.

A 34 inch doorway fit means the spa can pass through a standard 34 inch gate opening — common in older neighborhoods in Eagan, Burnsville, and Lakeville where fences were built before larger spas became popular. A 36 inch fit gives a small amount of additional clearance and works for slightly wider openings. If your gate is under 34 inches, contact us before ordering so we can confirm fitment or discuss options.

Not always. Many hot tubs on this page are specifically chosen because they can be moved through standard gate openings without fence removal. If your access point is 34 inches or wider and the path is relatively clear, most installs go smoothly. We review access during the setup planning process so there are no surprises on delivery day.

If your only access point is under 34 inches, a crane lift may be required. This is common in townhomes and homes with privacy fences that have no removable panels. We can help you assess whether a crane is needed and connect you with a local crane service that handles hot tub installs in the Twin Cities area.

Measure the clear opening width between the gate posts — not the gate panel itself. Also measure the height of any overhead clearance like an arbor or deck overhang along the delivery path. Then measure the narrowest point of the path from the street or driveway to your install location. Bring those three numbers and we can confirm which models will work for your space.
